They Painted The Wrong End Zone At The Super Bowl

http://deadspin.com/they-painted-the-wrong-end-zone-at-the-super-bowl-1755902778

Members of the media got to poke around Levi’s Stadium yesterday, and watched the grounds crew paint the various logos on the field. But a couple of particularly observant folks noticed a minor screw-up.

How come all the end zone pictures are just the Broncos for #SB50? Because someone painted the wrong end zone.

Why does it matter which end zone is which? For Super Bowls, “home” teams, as the Broncos are this year (the conferences alternate each season), get the right end zone as viewed from the press box. I’m sure there’s a reason for it, but I honestly can’t imagine what that might be.

You can still see the horse head in the far end zone. They had erased it by the time this picture was taken.
